Yep, thats where they live. Trying to read my wife's spelling in our address book; but it looks like \"Royal Troon Ct\". I am originally from Westland.

Quite Ironic indeed. I'm on 35 Monroe Twp. I started out Firefighting with Ida and I lived in Temperence for 3 or 4 years.

Since it is a Volly department, I am pretty sure you got in. Most will say if you are willing to take the time to come down and want to volly for free you will get a chance. Everyone, everywhere is hurting for people.

Good luck, I am sure they will let you know when you can come don for trainings. Very Happy

From one \"gander\" to another, welcome aboard. Hope you got the job. Been in it since bows and arrows were the weapons of choice.
